Mountain Day 2013 Recap

October 23, 2013

A chilly fall morning greeted Williams College students as the bells rang out the “The Mountains,” signifying the start of Mountain Day 2013. Hiking Mount Greylock, lunch at the all-campus picnic, an adventure race, and an evening polar bear swim were just some of the outdoor activities in which students, faculty, and staff participated.

You can see photos from Mountain Day on the Williams College Flickr page, here.

And to find out more about the history of Mountain Day (which began more than 150 years ago as Chip Day and Gravel Day and has since evolved to the annual tradition of a spontaneous break from classes), take a look at this page from the college archives.
